A great way to “feed it back”

As we near the end of 2012, I wanted to share with you another great organization worthy of a donation. As I noted in my December Giving Pledge post, December is typically the most popular time of the year to give money to charity.

The World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger and is funded entirely by voluntary donations.

Click on the image below to join WeFeedback, an innovative, global campaign that’s all about sharing food and changing lives. You can actually calculate the impact of your favorite food on the website.For example, if I “shared” what I paid for my favorite pizza – $8 – I could feed 32 children.

And here’s a cool video that shows the work the World Food Programme has been doing to provide food assistance in emergency situations from Syria to Eastern Congo.

Wherever you gave this year, I hope the act made you feel like you were making a difference in the world.

That sounds so cool…will definitely check it out. Sharing with the kids about how many mouths we can feed with the money for a pizza will be a powerful lesson in giving and in counting our blessings. Thanks again for always blessing me with your information of amazing organizations.Chris Carter recently posted..New Year Resolution 2013

You’re welcome, Chris. I thought it was a great way to measure impact. Many often think you have to have a lot of money (or time) to make a difference, but that’s just not true.anotherjennifer recently posted..Philanthropy Friday: SHE’s Innovative

I really love this idea. How much money do we waste on food? I love how this organization really puts it into perspective. I think I know where my $8 pizza will go to!Michelle recently posted..Holiday Week Recap – 2012
